His work is characterized by nonconformity, free-form improvisation, sound experiments, musical virtuosity and satire of American culture. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa composed rock, pop, jazz, jazz fusion, orchestral and musique concrète works, and produced almost all of the 60-plus album's that he released with his band the Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist. Zappa also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. He is considered one of the most innovative and stylistically diverse musicians of his generation.

In a democracy, you own the government—it doesn't own you. ... Zappa was an atheist. He recalled his parents being "pretty religious" and trying to make him go to Catholic school despite his resentment. He felt disgust towards organized religion (Christianity in particular) because he believed that it promoted ignorance and anti-intellectualism. He held the view that the Garden of Eden story shows that the essence of Christianity is to oppose gaining knowledge. Some of his songs, concert performances, interviews and public debates in the 1980s criticized and derided Republicans and their policies—President Ronald Reagan, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), televangelism, and the Christian Right—and warned that the United States government was in danger of becoming a "fascist theocracy.

[link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)] What a dummy... Imagine thinking you give a democracy license to exist... Well actually you do, if you and two wolves all decide that you'll vote on who is for dinner, then yeah, you license your life away... There is a reason why you are a voter and not an elector... There is a reason why republic is what it is... You literally have zero rights that you can't assert. The men who created this nation didn't care about your opinions nor did they care if you were too dumb to get it, they simply did what men do and asserted themselves, for better or worse. The Right of Self Determination is also a responsibility. |

Heinlein Robert Anson Heinlein (July 7, 1907 – May 8, 1988) was an American science fiction author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction, and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction. His published works, both fiction and non-fiction, express admiration for competence and emphasize the value of critical thinking. His plots often posed provocative situations which challenged conventional social mores. His work continues to have an influence on the science-fiction genre, and on modern culture more generally. Heinlein became one of the first American science-fiction writers to break into mainstream magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post in the late 1940s. He was one of the best-selling science-fiction novelists for many decades, and he, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke are often considered the "Big Three" of English-language science fiction authors. Notable Heinlein works include Stranger in a Strange Land, Starship Troopers (which helped mold the space marine and mecha archetypes) and The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. His work sometimes had controversial aspects, such as plural marriage in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, militarism in Starship Troopers and technologically competent women characters that were formidable, yet often stereotypically feminine—such as Friday.

Most have kids, mortgages, and careers. Our youth was spent in malls, wearing jelly bracelets, and roller skates. Skateboards. Reminds of an old Chinese adage.. Do not raise your children like your parents raised you. They were born for a different time. I think that really just sums it up. Over 80 is extremely elderly and has no place making any future they see fit. They were born for a different time. Simple as that.

As a child I remember the religious freak's singing "onward christian soldiers" Brainwashing the susceptible with their bullshit right out of the gate.. I sang that song. Countless times in Christian grade school, sitting in Chapel. To be fair, the school had a vibrant arts program and we spent much of our time learning to dance, sing and act in school-wide productions. Albeit it with a religious angle.
